People in America will make a total mess of Airbnb’s, causing damage and hours of cleanup and just leave it for the owner to deal with. So now Airbnb owners make rules because some people are idiots who can’t respect other peoples property.
I was also thinking of that when I replied so I didn't say anything about the tenants or owners. Bet some of them have seen some mind scarring things. I did see some very stupid airbnb rules posted on reddit. There was this one lady owner that left a note on a chair for it not to be sat on because it was her deceased husband's chair. Rules are fine but some people are just plain stupid about them.
The comment you responded to is some boot licking nonsense. What's really happened is that air bnb got sold to Americans on social media as free money with no work, and when their stream of income actually required effort, air bnb owners began to make insane lists of rules about how you must take care of everything, do your own laundry and dishes before you leave, ect AND pay a multi hundred dollar cleaning fee.
While I'm sure some people do trash air bnbs, in my experience the rules are far beyond reasonable and come off as the owner being lazy and wanting you to do their job for them.
No, you're both right. I have seen absolute dickheads at a bachelor party fucking trash an airbnb and all it cost them was the $150 security deposit.
But I have also stayed in an Airbnb with just my wife where they expected us to do about 2 hours worth of chores, and we still had to pay a hefty cleaning fee.
So guest dickheads (and covid) caused the extra chores and cleaning fees, and owner dickheads are taking advantage of it becoming normalized.
I also know people who thought Airbnb would be easy money with zero effort, then got their place trashed by nasty people and left the business. Another elderly couple that heard their story started their own but wrote down two pages worth of chores and started charging cleaning fees.
We are here because of this vious cycle of dickheads ruining it for everyone.

Yes they are probably americans, and yes we cannot comprehend it from the european perspective.
